A New Englander through and through, Jess, a Connecticut native, graduated from the University of Connecticut with a communication degree, majoring in social media influence. Post-college, she navigated freelance work, transitioning to larger brands where project management and social media strategies became her forte. Inspired by a co-worker's praise for always bringing zest to the table, The Zesty Table was born – a hub for creativity, deliciousness, and passion for impeccable products.

When she’s not managing projects and stirring up collaborations, she’s at the barn getting dirty riding her horse Benjamin, basking in the excitement of watching veggies growing in her garden, enjoying slow mornings cuddled up with her rescue Doberman Mix Reese, and sharing a glass of wine and laughter with her husband Michael. Nature is her sanctuary, and whether the sun is shining or snow is gently falling, you can bet your bottom she’s outside, savoring the contentment of it all.
